The irreconcilable problem is that when wages go up -- due to growth, inflation, etc. -- people internalise it, “Aren’t I brilliant? What a clever career move!”, but when they face the corresponding price increases, even if wages are rising faster, they externalise all the blame.
To the extent voters are unhappy about the price *level* they are just going to be angry for a while? We can lower prices in some categories (diesel), and incomes can rise; but there is no solution for the problem that lattes cost $6 now

SAIF boffins when Ultron-Gvir mows down thirty cities and sells Al Aqsa to Deloitte but it's all le hecking accelerationism
Honestly I do hope Netanyahu wins. A victory for the Israeli right means the continued exodus of secular Jews (the historic backbone of the state). The trend of Israel being belligerent to its neighbours would also continue, which would increase chances of direct confrontation

The Rachel Reeves fightback begins.
A certain Rachel asked Nobel laureate Paul Krugman a question at Oxford last night, casually noting the IMF’s praise for UK deficit and debt reduction and the productivity puzzle being revised away. All during her time as Chancellor, as it happens. Laughter and applause.

The Falkland Islanders have a right to develop their natural resources as they see fit. Today we have announced new measures under Protection of Trading Interests legislation to ensure people and companies are shielded from Argentinian threats. Attempts to intimidate those taking part in legitimate commercial activity are unacceptable. gov.uk/government/news/busin…

UK Q2 GDP growth revised up to 0.5% by ONS. So top growth in G7 in q1, second in q2 to Canada, overall fastest growth of g7 economies so far in 2026. GDP per capita also revised up to 0.5% growth. Definitely defying the suggestion that the Iran war would hit UK hardest.

The best Labour leader speech since Blair. Reminded me of a Baptist sermon. Now the Right must face the question it long dreaded: “what do you do if the Left isn’t led by an idiot?” telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

The Prime Minister has announced the @resfoundation smoothed earnings lock to replace the Triple Lock from 2030. According to the @BritishProgress calculator, this raises £20bn each year by 2040. triple-lock.britishprogress.…
The PM is expected to signal an end to the triple lock today. But what are the options for reform, and how much money do they save? @BritishProgress (namely, @matthewgstubbs) has made a tool to compare the different ideas on the table. For instance, you can compare @timleunig's '5-year triple lock' with @resfoundation's 'smoothed triple lock' proposal (originally proposed by @TorstenBell and @lauracgardiner) to see that they each would save around £60bn by 2047, and deliver an annual state pension of around £27k (nominal). As you can see, the amount of money that can be saved – particularly over a longer time-horizon, is enormous.

All social democrats are fascists except for the social democrats that aren't social democrats but are left-wing populists, who are social democrats.
